How will I know if I qualify for a free game after taking the survey?
Thanks in any case!
Hope a new/another Grim Fandango comes out!

    Which survey?

    I'm pretty sure he means the one that was mentioned in the January edition of the Telltale Interloper newsletter.

    If that's the survey, you don't get a free game out of it (unless you count Sam & Max Episode 104, which you can get free without taking the survey). It just gets you a 15% off code. Of course, $4.95 for all of Sam & Max Season One is pretty darn close to free!

    I think everyone who takes the survey qualifies. It says to expect 5 days 'delivery' though.

    Thanks Friar; it was a survey mention in Destructiod.

    Wait, it is a free episode.

    Your coupon will be mailed to you within a week or two.

    That's weird. When /I/ took it, it was 15% off. I'd rather get a free episode since I wouldn't use the 15% off.
    I guess you had to take the survey as linked from destructoid. When I followed the link over there it did speak of a free episode. But I'm not going to take the same survey again, that would bias their sample or something.

    I wasn't informed about a free episode-giving survey!

    Tell me.

    I screwed it up anyway, by only answering one option, when apparently it asked for three in top revival possibilities.

    Wait, physically? Is this one of those "joke" things?

    By mail obviously (I doubt they can get where I live just from my e-mailadress. I surely hope not).

    But yeah, what's this about "free episode"?

    Ohoho, I'd be a REAL MESS when you actually find an... enlarger... in your mailbox.

    Joystiq posted a link to a identical survey with a free episode as the prize.

    So completing both the surveys gives you 15% off AND a free episode?

    Smokin'.

    But as far as I can tell, it's the same survey. I don't think you can fill it twice, I mean that's not usually how surveys work.

    I actually did fill it twice, it let me to do that. One mentioned about 15% discount at the end, and the other mentioned about a free episode.

    Free episode is what I truly expect -as I don't really have that much to spend to begin with, to make my coupon be useful-. I've been DYING to play Chariots of the Dogs again, in my own computer and using my own profile this time.

    Oh, ok.
    Well, I still don't want to fill it a second time. I don't know, even if they let you, it kinda feels wrong to me. Plus, I'd feel bad doing it for the reward (I filled it the first time not caring about the 15% since I won't use it).

    I wonder why there is that difference though if the survey is exactly the same apart from that. Maybe they want to differenciate the sample coming from telltale fans and the sample coming from outside. It would make sense that people here might be more interested in 15% off, which lets them buy various stuff, while people from outside might have never played any telltale game and so a free episode would be a good marketing idea. And more useful, since people who have been here for a while probably have bought everything already by now.

    True. Well, I DID ask for a friend of mine to give me some answers for the second poll (the ones about movies, etc), unfortunately he's a really good friend of mine so even those ended up being similar. Yes, I know, this is like saying "I'm not that bad!", so yeah, well... I really wanted to get the free episode because I missed the first Telltale Tuesday. Not like I'd win it, but... yep. I, am, just; sinful.

    Pretty logical explanation.

    Oh, I wasn't blaming you! I'm just explaining, I won't do it since it would make me uncomfortable. But very often I'm uncomfortable about ridiculous things so you shouldn't use me as a moral compass.
